Thanks Nigel here goes:
My playing at gigs has been oriented primarily toward background music. I have been playing mostly cocktail hours, corporate holiday parites, awards banquets and senior/assisted living facilities where folks come to listen as opposed to coming to dance. I've just been hired to play a 50th Weddning Anniversary in a couple of months from now. Although, I've been hired to play background I'm sure folks would dance if I play dance music. Well, I need some input on what to play? For the last 30 years I've been a jazz fan and my influence for the background stuff I play in about 75% of the time is big band, jazz style, I need to switch gears a bit . What are you using for good dance material??

Thanks in advance
